The dog in the video is responding to about 10 million years of evolution and a million years of living with people. The rules of dog world are:
1. If you can see it it's yours unless a human or bigger looking (this might be a Chihuahua with eye catching teeth and a bad attitude) dog gets there first.
2. Anything that's yours should be pee'd on, eaten or shagged ASAP before any doubt arises over point 1.
3. Humans move at about 4 mph and have faces with a triangular relationship of eyes and mouth.
4. If you are been chased it is because the other thing intends to eat, pee on or shag you.
You can change this behaviour with between three days and three years of planned bribery and peer pressure (or torture if you want a dog that's planning revenge). Anything else is just new and interesting and should be referred to the four rules.
The rider in the video is under the impression dog teeth will damage metal and dog fur is proof against exhaust temperatures. The rider is possibly easier to train (although I sometimes have doubts).
As noted above, just manoeuvre to avoid or ultimately let them bounce off.
